Night and Day Festival: What you need to know

Night and Day takes place at Lough Key Forest and Activity Park, Boyle, this weekend.

The Night and Day Festival at Lough Key Forest and Activity Park takes place this weekend, between May 29th and 31st. Here's all you need to know.

GETTING TO THE SITE

Cars/taxis/private transport: If you are driving to the festival by car, you will enter the park via the L1019 and be directed to the car park. There’s no charge to use the car park for festival goers.

Campervans: All campervans enter through the main Lough Key Forest Park entrance where you will be directed to your respective campervan site.

OPENING TIME

The campsite opens at 12 noon on Friday and closes at 12 noon on Monday.

The first act of the weekend starts at 3 p.m.on Friday, but expect a surprise arriving into the marina a bit before that!

TICKET TYPE

Please make sure you have the correct tickets. In particular, note that a “family camping ticket” covers two adults and up to two kids but a “family campsite” ticket is for just one adult.

You cannot bring a campervan or caravan without a campervan pitch.

AGE POLICY

Night and Day is an Over-20s festival. Children Under-14 can attend on a kids ticket with an adult ticket holder. These rules will be enforced at the ticket check-in, with no refunds offered to people who purchased tickets but broke the rules.

FILMING AT THE FESTIVAL

Teams of photographers and videographers will be filming throughout the festival.

As you’ll appreciate, it is always better for them to capture the moment rather than always asked for a staged picture. If you are unhappy with your picture being taken or that of your child, please let them know and they will delete it.

All of the accredited photographers will have media lanyards on them.

SHUTTLE BUSES

Shuttle buses will be running from Boyle and Carrick on Shannon - please pre-book them now to ensure we have adequate capacity.

SITE LAYOUT

Please download the festival app to see the site map, live music schedule and receive notifications about any surprises that may be planned for you over the weekend.

One key change to the layout is that access to the Sol stage is via the main arena in between the Luna and Queen Medb stages. Access will only open at 11 p.m. each night.

Foldable chair can be brought into the arena, but you can’t have them inside the music tents after 6 p.m..
